PB for 16 gauge

[Kensal Rise]

Who am I to counter such sage wisdom. Then again, if you visit the Alliant Powder website, you will find this description for Red Dot:

"Principal Purpose: Light and standard 12 & 16 ga. target loads"

Then there's this load from the 16 Ga Forum:

WW 16 Poly 1 oz. Red Dot 15 Win 209 Rem R-16 1165 10,400 Hercules


Or these:

WW CF 1 oz. Red Dot 15 27 Win 209 Rem R-16 1165 10,900 Hercules

WW CF 1 oz. Red Dot 16.5 30 Win 209 Rem R-16 1165 9,700 HSR

WW CF 1 oz. Red Dot 17.5 32 CCI 109 Rem R-16 1210 9,500 Lyman 3rd


Or this:

Fed 16 Plas 1 oz. Red Dot 16.0 Fed 209 Rem R 16 1165 9,700 Hercules


Thus I apologize for offering a 3/4 oz load that must be ill advised. And retire from this thread.

John , that's not case at all, my comments aren't meant to offend . Like I said it is probably a very nice light target load . ( safe for guns that will handle modern pressures ) I just don,t think it is low pressure . For safety sake I would not assume it is LP without seeing test data first.


Those Red dot loads you posted above are old loads that where more than likely measured LUP not PSI . I am sure of it on the 3rd Lyman load , because I looked it up in my book .
